This morning I opened my email to find an urgent message from my friend, Bettie Snyder, in Haiti. She said there is an urgent need for shoes. The children have started school and many need shoes. Shoes for Haiti's Kids currently has boxes full of shoes in place for them to use in Haiti! Thanks to all of you who have helped make it possible for the children of Haiti to get a pair of brand new shoes!!!! Will post pictures when I receive them. Our "shoe room" in our home is starting to fill up with more shoes, we will continue to box them and when we fill 4 or 5 large boxes, we ship them right to Haiti. Donations of brand new shoes only please or finances to buy shoes are greatly appreciated........New Hope Ministries address for donations is posted on the blog. God bless you for your generosity!

An urgent email from Haiti
Hendersonville Connection!!
Another big thank you to Christine who collected 99 pairs of BRAND NEW shoes for the children of Haiti! She has been such a blessing to Shoes for Haiti's Kids! This is the 3rd time she has collected shoes with the help of donations from her church group and friends. It's the kindness of people like Christine and her husband John, that keep this ministry able to help the children in Haiti. Thank you Christine for all your hard work and to all of those who donated the shoes and finances...........we are boxing up the shoes today, getting them ready for shipping.

The Lyons Family
Frank and I were invited by the Lyons Family to come over to their summer home for "something special". When we arrived we were seated in our special chairs.......... The kids came out and started singing....." there are people in the world that are less fortunate, we need to give them guidance so they can grow." Then the chorus "shoes are the key, helps you and me. Haiti is a country we need to see". Verse 2 "we hear the news, tragedy that brings the blues. We need to choose to help!". After they finished their song and dance they presented us with a baggie full of bills and loose change...........around $51.00 worth of allowances, money they earned doing chores, etc. We were so blessed by the generous hearts of these kids! Thank you Lyons Family for giving to the needy children of Haiti!!!
We are making plans for our next trip to Haiti........we will either go in November or possibly we will wait till February. We are praying and asking God to show us the best time to go. In the meantime we are continuing to ship shoes to Haiti as they come in. Thank you to all of you who have sent brand new shoes and finances to New Hope........remember, all your financial gifts are tax deductible. BRAND NEW SHOES ONLY PLEASE!
